He Said Beer, She Said Wine

It's the perpetual argument: What goes better with your meal, beer or wine?

While cooking these traditional cuisines, kids also learn about the countries they’re from – how a tandoor oven works, what smorgasbord really means, and how to make a croque monsieur into a croque madame.
